    Common interview questions for LTC/rehab nurse?

    Jedrnurse replied to nurse1045's topic in General Nursing

    Common interview questions for LTC/rehab nurse?

    Jedrnurse replied to nurse1045's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest, I've heard a lot of LTC hiring stories that lead me to believe that they'll mostly want to verify that you have a pulse. If you go the LTC route, be prepared to take ownership of...

    Getting off the "do not hire" list?

    Jedrnurse replied to cmf2021's topic in General Nursing

    What is your opinion on "calling in sick" when not really sick?

    Jedrnurse replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, there are people who use sick time for reasons that are not obvious to others and may be incorrectly perceived as using it inappropriately. There are also people who blatantly misuse it. The...

    What is your opinion on "calling in sick" when not really sick?

    Jedrnurse replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I don't necessarily disagree with you re: management's role in this. I'm responding more to the title of the post which solicited opinions of calling in sick when not sick. To speak to that, I...

    Jedrnurse replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Jedrnurse replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Based on the tenor of a lot of the previous comments I'm going to get flack for this, but...okay. It's all well and good to not judge people whose personal lives we aren't privy to but, come on,...

    The teachers are losing it!

    Jedrnurse replied to UpliftingRN's topic in School

    You're in a private school so I think they (management) can shape the nursing role to an extent. It's too bad that it's interfering with your duties, especially since my experience has been that those...

    OCC Health is it's own specialty and there can be lots of opportunities to develop assessment skills, as well as plenty of chances to do patient teaching. Hospital nursing is not the end all and be...

    Under the Influence Assessment

    Jedrnurse replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    In warmer months, I have them do a "come to my house and mow my lawn" assessment. Now that we're in Winter it's a "come to my house and shovel my driveway" version... Seriously, though....

    Vaccine Hesitancy

    Jedrnurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Gotcha. I'm advising my supervisors to suggest that not everyone get their shot at the same time- we could have a lot of "under the weather" people calling in at once. Understandable, but a...

    What constitutes "a big deal"?

    Jedrnurse replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Increase in hr/$pay for Bilingual

    Jedrnurse replied to HeyHeyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that was what was being implied. But if there's a range of starting salary for new grads, don't you think that it should count towards starting at a higher point on that range than...
